Considering Acer Laptops For Your Kids


If you are looking for a quality laptop or notebook, you may think that you have to spend a lot of money to get one. Instead of shopping by price, you should instead shop by reputation.

Everyone has different experiences with different brands, especially when it comes to electronics, but there are some brands that perform better than others, especially in the lower price range.

Acer laptops may have their problems as each brand does, and for a lower end model, these are  models worth consideration when you shop for something for your children.

The Acer laptops are on the lower end of price for some of their models. If you want the smaller notebook size that is just for basic computer commands and surfing the Internet, they also have one on the lower end of price.

For the most part, this usually means the items is sub par, but that is not always the case with Acer laptops. In fact, those working in many stores I have personally visited say that they perform pretty well considering they are on the lower end of the price scale for certain models.

An Acer laptop may not be right for you, but if you want to get something for your kids, this may be the way to go. Both the laptop and the notebook versions are great in price for something that does not have to have a high amount of top end programs. Read the rest of this entry →

The Acer Notebook Computer for Those for whom Two Dimensions Just Won’t Do


It all started with the seriously imaginative Acer Aspire 5738DG-6165 (seriously unimaginative naming going on there, by the way) about an year and a half ago. At the time, the stores didn’t even have 3-D television sets.

If you are a little tired of having csceneblock. That Acer notebook computer was a phenomenal product for its time time.

Overall, it was a pretty middle-of-the-line laptop: the Core2Duo processor, 4GB RAM, and ATI HD 4750 graphics card all positioned it as a solidly mid-range machine. It would be a completely unremarkable Acer notebook computer in every way if it wasn’t for the fact that it had something no one had ever heard of – a 3-D screen.

That kind of performance would have been adequate back then. No one else had the killer 3-D feature they had, and that seems to have been about enough. Cut to a year later, and there is competition closing in on every side on the Acer notebook computer that started it all.

A simple 3-D screen with polarized glasses is no longer enough. Which is why for this year, we have the new Aspire AS5745DG.

Keeping up with the way the state-of-the-art in notebooks has progressed in the past 12 months, the new 3-D Acer notebook comes with a robust Core i5 processor,Nvidia GeForce GT4210M graphics, and the party trick of this piece, the 15.6 inch 1366 by 768 LED 3-D screen that you view with active shutter glasses. And nearly as attractive too is the fact that it comes on the market at under $900.

The Acer Aspire 5738DG from last year really impressed buyers and critics alike with its fine 3-D rendition of native 3-D movies and its impressive ability to convert 2-D movies effectively. The way it dealt with 3-D games seemed nothing short of remarkable too.

3-D computing is much better accepted now and Acer doesn’t really need to build its devices to an aggressively low price anymore. This year’s model, the Aspire AS5745DG, takes the laptop’s 3-D credentials forward.

To begin with, the 3-D is experienced through active shutter glasses of the kind you see on the latest 3-D televisions. The glasses keep in touch with the computer through an IR receiver.

The main reason Acer believes you will like one of its 3-D laptops is it believes you would like to dive into the world of 3-D gaming – as supported on its line by Nvidia’s 3D Vision technology.

But Acer doesn’t want to limit the appeal of its 3-D laptop to gameheads alone of course. Part is the beauty of this Acer notebook computer is that it has a Blu-Ray drive that you can play 3-D movies on. Even more exciting though is the fact that if you pop in a 2-D movie, the 3-D engine will convert it to 3-D on the fly.

This is a feature by the way that not even HP’s much more expensive Envy 17 3-D includes. It certainly speaks well for Acer’s knowledge of its audience.
